I have stacks of small cuts of fabric. I always plan to make quilt squares and create a quilt, however, once in a while, I can find good use for such small pieces. I created this little hanging heart,...........to give to friends when we get together..........with some little surprise tucked inside of the pocket.

Sort of "let's remember this day" kind of thing..........

I enjoyed making the beaded flowers so much, I decided to stitch them on to the front panel.

I think this would also be cute with a small embroidered design or initial stitched on to the front.............what do you think??

a mesquite tree, just like the many others that are here on the farm grounds,

but for some reason,

out of all of those trees,

this is the only one that has a lovely bunch of mistletoe growing on it. It started out last year and I have watched it in anticipation

and was so delighted to see it looking like this the other day. Of course, my creativity has kicked in and I can envision satin stitched leaves in sage green with pearl clusters for the mistletoe berries to stitch...........what do you think??

A heavy snow blew in and covered the grounds and the mistletoe in the early morning hours

and the trees are now dressed in their sparkling array of frozen leaves and branches.

I'm in between stitching projects right now, but the inspiration is overflowing.
